    The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a military alliance of 30 European and North American countries established by the North Atlantic Treaty in 1949. NATO promotes democratic values and ensures the freedom and security of its members through both political and military means. Politically, NATO enables members to consult and cooperate on defense issues. Militarily, NATO is committed to crisis-management operations and the principle of collective defense, in which an attack against one member is considered an attack against all. This principle has been invoked once, in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.

    North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), military alliance established by the North

    Atlantic Treaty of April 4, 1949, Currently 30 countries are members of NATO.


    The current member states of NATO are Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia,
    the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
    Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Montenegro, the Netherlands, North Macedonia,
    Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, the United
    Kingdom, and the United States.
    Security in our daily lives is key to our well-being. NATO’s purpose is to guarantee the
    freedom and security of its members through political and military means.
    POLITICAL - NATO promotes democratic values and enables members to consult and
    cooperate on defence and security-related issues to solve problems, build trust and, in
    the long run, prevent conflict.
    MILITARY - NATO is committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes. If diplomatic
    efforts fail, it has the military power to undertake crisis-management operations. These
    are carried out under the collective defence clause of NATO's founding treaty - Article 5
    of the Washington Treaty or under a United Nations mandate, alone or in cooperation
    with other countries and international organisations.
    NATO is committed to the principle that an attack against one or several of its members
    is considered as an attack against all. This is the principle of collective defence, which is
    enshrined in Article 5 of the Washington Treaty.
    So far, Article 5 has been invoked once - in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the
    United States in 2001.
    NATO is an alliance of countries from Europe and North America. It provides a unique
    link between these two continents, enabling them to consult and cooperate in the field of
    defence and security, and conduct multinational crisis-management operations
    together. Every day, member countries consult and take decisions on security issues at
    all levels and in a variety of fields.
    A “NATO decision” is the expression of the collective will of all 30 member countries
    since all decisions are taken by consensus.
    Hundreds of officials, as well as civilian and military experts, come to NATO
    Headquarters each day to exchange information, share ideas and help prepare
    decisions when needed, in cooperation with national delegations and the staff at NATO
    Headquarters.
